On Tuesday, just before 8 p.m., officers from the Indiana State Police, the Fulton County Sheriff's Office and the Rochester Police Department responded to an injury-involved crash at the intersection of U.S. 31 and Southway 31. Officers arrived within minutes to locate one of the drivers unconscious and unresponsive.
Preliminary investigation by Trooper Adrianna Ward indicates that a silver Ford Escape driven by Cameron Green, 25, of Coldwater, Mich., was traveling southbound in the passing lane on U.S. 31 near Southway 31. For an undetermined reason, a red Nissan Kicks driven by Tina Adkins, 55, of Peru, was stopped in the southbound passing lane at the intersection. The Ford collided with the Nissan's passenger side, causing the Nissan to come to rest on the south side of the intersection and the Ford to come to rest in the median.
Green sustained non-life-threatening injuries and was transported to Woodlawn Hospital. Adkins was pronounced dead at the crash scene by medical personnel.
Investigation is ongoing. At this time, neither the consumption of alcoholic beverages nor narcotics are suspected of contributing to this crash. Notification to the family of the deceased has been made.
Trooper Ward was assisted by other members of the Indiana State Police Peru District, the Indiana State Police Reconstruction Team, Fulton County Sheriff's Office, Rochester Police Department, Parkview EMS, Rochester Fire Department and Fulton County EMA.
